Thanks John. Great question. The image is a mix of taking flight, something I hope all my companies do as well as the historical symbolism of eagles.

Good definition. The devil is in the details. I had a former CEO who always said "you're not paranoid if you're right". And I have to say in all my dealmaking history, the more we prepared and thought of what could go wrong, the less things did go wrong.

It probably is dumping. Even harder to prove in this sector where cost of goods is zero and you're shipping bits vs. atoms
